Mason Mount insists he has 'nothing but praise and gratitude' for sacked ex-Chelsea boss Frank Lampard as he calls on the 'strong characters' in the squad to drag club out of their slump

Mason Mount admits he has nothing 'but praise and gratitude' for former Chelsea boss Frank Lampard.

The club legend was sacked on Monday after just 18 months in the Stamford Bridge hotseat and replaced by former Paris Saint-Germain and Borussia Dortmund boss Thomas Tuchel.

The 22-year-old spent the 2018/19 season on loan at Derby under Lampard, before returning to Chelsea to flourish under him for the last couple of seasons.
